Description
Bloomsbury India Checkmate Corruption by Arpinder Singh and Vinay Garodiya
About the book
Growth deterrents, such as fraud, bribery and corruption have the ability to cripple economies
and place regions under undue anxiety and turmoil. Governments and corporate entities agree
that fraud, bribery and corruption are bad for business and society, and that decisive steps
need to be taken to mitigate them. Markets are never static. New risks constantly emerge, and
the matters that regulators and the public consider as inappropriate or fraudulent are evolving.
It is therefore critical at this juncture to implement adequate safeguards and measures to
evaluate and address risks around fraud and corruption.
The book intends to bring a real and relevant representation of the market challenges faced by
organizations, including American companies while running business operations in India.
The constant battle between corruption and anti-corruption is like a game of chess, with
two opposing sides pitted against each other. Chess, which incidentally has its origin
pinned down in India, seems to be an apt way to depict this continued conflict in
corporate India.
__________________________________________________________
Checkmate corruption! is authored by leading forensic accounting and dispute professionals
from Ernst & Young LLP, Arpinder Singh and Vinay Garodiya. The book is metaphorically
demarcated into two sides, one set of players are those driven by corruption, determined to
use quicker and unscrupulous ways to succeed. The opposing anti-corruption side consolidates
forces that seek to deter unethical practices, promote sound governance and drive corporate
compliance.
In the end, the “checkmate” effect is determined on perpetrators, who will no longer be able to
consider themselves safe if unethical practices are followed.
